SEEING THE SUN RISE.
The First and Last sunrise which Lazy

The First and Last Sunrise Which Lazy
Bonnibel saw.
BOnnibel remembers one morning
on waking that she has in the course
of her life seen certainly not more
than half-a-lozen sunrises. and she
doesn't really think it is SO many.
And those were all of them accidental
either because she was sick and
couldn't sleep or had 70 get up at four
or five. or some such drea iful hour. to
catch a train. Now to appreciate a
sunrise. the body should BE- free from
discomfort, and the miId from care

She resolves that she UiU see one-at

A moment lateF she is up and dress
ing; in ten minutes she is out in the
garden, her curly hair tucked
mp hastily in her neck, and
her fingers fastening final
button as she goes. How cool, how
delicious, is the autumn air The
flowers are just opening; Il few buds
even shyly uuclOse while she is looking
at them. The many colorcl morning.
glories are holding up their perfect
cups to the light; little dewdrops
sparkle among the gorgeo flames of
the nasturtiums; spider-webs, dotted
with tiny diamonds, twinkle daintily
upon the lawn.
All, here comes an old friend-one
she has known about ever since she
was little girl, though she hasn't met
him very often. He approaches with
short run. a stop, another run. two
or three hops. halt head up and red
breast thrown forward. like an alert
little sentinel. and then sudden dab

watches, silent aud amused. while he
jerks his sturdy little neck. jumps for

Caught he is. however. and presently

SUCCESS IN LIFE.

Seeking Success for It's Own Sake an OBJ
ject Unworthy of Christians.
Nothing succeeds like success is a
popular verse in the modern book of
proverbs. 1t is regarded by many as
containing a truth almost axiomat.c.
The young man is told to do so nething
that will convince the world that he
has in him the elements Of success, and
he will gain confidence in himself and
inspire confidence in others. Only
make a brilliant beginning, and the
rest will be easy. Win a great victory.
and you will be hailed as eonquerer.
and can march on in triumph.
In this there is some truth Just
enough to sugar-coat a dangerous
error Success is often the highway to
dis ster and ruin. The first Napoleon
was one of the most successful men
Of his or any other age As C0un-
selor Phillips sand: with no friend
but his sword and no fortune but his
talents. he entered the lists where rank
and wealth and genius had arrayed
themselves, and competition fled from
him rs from the glance of destiny.
But how vain. how proud. how self
confident his early success made him,
Memoirs Of his private life, recently
publ he'd. show that he was one of the
meanest and most miserable Of men.
And when he fell, as such climbers
must sooner or later. how great his
fall! He will take his place in history
as the most conspicuous failure of
modern times. When We think of
what Napoleon might have been and
might have done if he had not been
intoxicated BY suec $. we mourn over
the weakness of our human natare.
